They are both in our state, but that is not the correct answer.

How long is the walkway? I would love to walk that circuit on Grandfather Mountain to see if it is the same length as our neighborhood circle!
The swinging bridge is perhaps 50 feet long and leads to another trail. The higher trail is to the right and behind the parking lot. Lots of good hiking there.
However hiking and trails have nothing to do with what we have in common with the mountain.
HINT: The name "Hugh."
Hugh morton and.his. Family lived in Wilmington and he had partial ownership of grandfather mountain. From Wesley
hugh mc crae....andy
Correct. Hugh Morton was the grandson of Hugh MacCrae.
Per Wikipedia:
In 1952 Hugh Morton inherited more than 4,000 acres on Grandfather Mountain from his grandfather, Hugh MacRae, and immediately set out on making the property more accessible to tourists. In 1952 Morton extended and improved a vehicle road to the top of the mountain, and erected the original Mile High Swinging Bridge to provide visitor access to one of the most spectacular scenic vistas in the southeastern United States.[5] The Mile High Swinging Bridge is a 228-foot-long (69 m) bridge that spans a chasm at exactly one mile of elevation.
